I am in Manitoba, Canada using 204 area code. Looking for a sip provider that supports sms/mms with 3cx. Of the preferred and supported 3cx providers, Voxtelesys and Voip.ms support sms/mms and can port area code 204. I have not used sms/mms with 3cx.

Anyone in canada that uses Voxtelesys or Voip.ms with 3cx and sms/mms. Could you share your experience and opinions on these providers.

Currently i'm using les.net for voice sip. Low cost and been reliable. Only looking for change to have sms/mms with my business phone number with 3cx system.

Thanks.

10+ years ago I self hosted open source sugarcrm. I like it, particularly the ability to create custom modules so I could have custom 1-1 entities with contacts. Is there something that exists today that is similar?

Could someone with Yealink experience confirm a setup for me.

SIP-T44U desk phone with WH63 E2 dect headset and EXP43 expansion. Both connect using USB, no special cables like an EHS40 needed?

I have two reolink doorbells powered through doorbell transformer with wi-fi to nvr. My nvr, ups and doorbell transformer are all close to each other. I would like to switch the power of the doorbells so they can be plugged into my ups for when I have power outages. Anyone confirm the power technical that the following product will work:

What are people's go-to for PA speakers that integrate with 3cx? I need PA speakers in a ~2000 sqft front service desk / retail space and ~3000 sqft shipping / mechanical shop.

It would be nice to be able to have the ability to use the PA speakers individually or all combined, but if they are setup PA all speakers every time is fine.

It's a small business so budget is important.

I have a DS223, 2 x 10TB RAID 1 WD RED (35% used), DSM 7.3.2-86009 Update 4.

I use log center and for the second time, log center has stopped working with advanced features. Log entries for this synology device show, but the features that require the full version are not available. The repair option always fails. This has happened once before, just over a year ago. I worked with synology support. they spent some time trying to figure it out and the solution was to reinstall the DSM. That worked and now I am experiencing the problem again.

Anyone know the solution to solve this?

A quick and easy meal that I make in an instantpot is the following:

- long grain white rice (2 cups)
- frozen mixed vegetables (1-2 cups)
- frozen chicken breasts
- vegetable broth (3-4 cups)
- pressure cook for 14 minute timer, ~40 minutes total time

sometimes I will add Italian seasoning and/or cayenne.

It's simple recipe, 3-4 minutes to prep.

What are options that you would consider to add flavor?

I have a garden space that is 12 foot by 12 foot in zone 3b (south east Manitoba). I've done nothing to prepare anything, hot and dry start to summer. what would you consider planting there for vegetable garden? back yard is on the north side so it gets some morning shade from neighbor trees. no real garden experience.

I have a windows remote desktop server, windows server 2022.  We have a few programs we allow access to people published as remote apps.  One of the programs exports to Excel by opening excel, creates the workbook/worksheet, but the window does not show and the program hangs waiting for excel to close. The user can't see excel and therefore can't close excel so they are stuck.  as an admin, I can connect to the remote desktop server and end task on their excel instance and then they can continue working.

 

Is there a way to allow the excel window to show when opened by a remote desktop remote app?

I’ve had a GitHub Copilot Pro annual subscription since December, but so far I’ve mostly used it for basic autocomplete and chat inside PhpStorm and PyCharm.

Recently I started experimenting more with Copilot CLI for larger and multi-file tasks, but the results have been mixed. Sometimes it works surprisingly well, and other times it ignores instructions, changes unrelated code, or loses context.

I’m trying to understand how experienced users are getting consistently good results.

Some questions I’d really like feedback on:

• How did you learn to prompt effectively?
• What kinds of instructions produce the best results?
• How do you structure requests for multi-file changes?
• How do you keep Copilot focused and following instructions?
• Do you use project instruction files, conventions, or templates?
• What workflows made the biggest difference for you?

I’ve mostly used GPT-5 Mini and GPT-5.4 so far. Some of the other models have much higher usage multipliers, so I haven’t experimented much with them yet.

For people using the more expensive models:

• What tasks make them worth the higher multiplier cost?
• What do they do noticeably better?
• Are there specific prompting styles or workflows that help justify using them?

For context, most of my work is PHP, WordPress, Linux/server scripting, and general IT automation.
